Tried to keep mine simple: https://www.marekdlugos.com/ Mostly serves as a catalogue of my other projects.

My friends benchmarked managed vector databases under production-like conditions: high-throughput ingest, concurrent queries, filtering, and read–write mixed workloads.

The post includes the methodology, the dataset, and the open-source tool they published for running the benchmarks.

re: optimization for 1024b vectors — do you pad shorter ones, or fallback to a more general kernel?

We do a projection of the original vectors so that it matches one of our optimized kernel. This generally gives us better recall vs. simple padding since all bits are utilized.

This is cool. Happy Better Stack customer here.

What do you use for search then? Out of curiosity.

Today I use PG-Sync to index things in MeiliSearch and to populate cache in production.

Yes, and no. So I am the author of https://hostmeinca.com/

It did help me get an internship in Hawaii in 2019 for which I am eternally grateful. The website was #1 on YC HN and opened many doors. You can read the entire story here: https://medium.com/startup-frontier/7-686-miles-from-slovaki...

On the other hand, my personal website, https://www.marekdlugos.com/ doesn't have much traffic. It all boils down to standing out from the crowd and having something to offer.

In 2025, I'd like to start blogging. I believe other people could benefit from some of my experiences.

Came across this blog talking about FIRE (financial independence, retire early). I am always quite struck by how openly people write about money.

Some people do, but I'd say it's rare relative to the overall population. Those that do often do it as a way to get even more money.

https://www.marekdlugos.com/ There's a lot to improve there but I'd be curious to see what other people think. The goal was to give a good overview of who I am. The part with "what I do" is something I want to improve for sure.

Nice! I like the clean and clear style. I think you are presenting yourself in a great way.

Yes you are right man. I wanted to add links on that stuff in next commit.

Thank you @soneca a lot for your advice. I think you are right and I will remember it.
